Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durantsat out Wednesday's loss with a toe injury. It was the second straight game Durant was forced to missed. The Thunder are now 9-16 this season when Durant does not play.

Russell Westbrook scored 40 points for the Thunder in Durant's absence, but he was one of just three Oklahoma City players who scored in double figures. Perry Jones, who started at small forward in place of Durant, went scoreless in 24 minutes.

The Knicks have now won four out of their last five after breaking a 16-game losing streak.
